The Latest

Wednesday, April 26, 2017

Like Veep last Sunday, Silicon Valley took a big hit in the absence of the Game of Thrones halo, down 58% year-to-year in its season four premiere. Still, 0.44 left it as the highest-rated original in this new HBO lineup, building on The Leftovers (which was down to 0.34 but is still having a big growth season overall). Veep held last week's 0.27.

FX's Fargo returned last Wednesday at 0.40, down by 17% from the season two premiere.

And Freeform's flagship Pretty Little Liars (0.65) returned to begin its final ride after a longer-than-usual hiatus. That was down big from its last in-season premiere (1.06 back in January 2016) but about where it opened its last summer run (0.67 in June 2016).

PLL led into newbie Famous in Love (0.30), another extremely female-skewing drama from one of the PLL creators. Bad news: held less than half of its lead-in. Good news: it was still a decent bit better than the last post-PLL launch, Dead of Summer, which had just a 0.23 back in June.
